Give me a break, the article must be written by his classmate. Lopsided.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50bf7a56eab8ea8a03000009Jim PatelWed, 05 Dec 2012 11:46:14 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50bf7a56eab8ea8a03000009
BI must be grabbing a piece of the grant, or trying to promote the site.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50bf7905ecad04da09000001Jason VuciniWed, 05 Dec 2012 11:40:37 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50bf7905ecad04da09000001
The concept of "no download required" is pretty interesting, but it's so easy to implement this. No, it's not a sustainable business model.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50bed3d86bb3f79f3000000etodddTue, 04 Dec 2012 23:55:52 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50bed3d86bb3f79f3000000e
Hmmmmm.
The next Zuckerburg? I guess that means he has rich friends that can connect him to deep pockets in the VC world.
Zuckerburg wasn't a genius by any means, puhlease. The guy had connections to fund his MySpace project.
And Gates, well Gates had mommy on the board of IBM to get him locked in to a life as richest man.
So I hope they are looking for kids that are connected and not some geek that knows how to code a website.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50bebe886bb3f7ff0700000blukmanleongTue, 04 Dec 2012 22:24:56 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50bebe886bb3f7ff0700000b
he looks like a cross breed of Bill Gates and Mark Z, Bill Zuckerberghttp://www.businessinsider.com/c/50bea16069bedd9c20000005LoginwithfacebookTue, 04 Dec 2012 20:20:32 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50bea16069bedd9c20000005
Sounds like a winner. Can't even locate his phone without an "app". Now he wants to spy on people on webpages. Sounds just like Zark Muckerberg.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50be9ac669bedd660c000009Nancy ElwellTue, 04 Dec 2012 19:52:22 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50be9ac669bedd660c000009
Hope he'll be the guy to develop a new Facebook-like social network...the time is ripe!http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50be75766bb3f7167b000019Soshana HenryTue, 04 Dec 2012 17:13:10 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50be75766bb3f7167b000019
Alyson: you write that "Firefly allows any website to share a screen with a customer without downloading any software."
This should be changed to "without _explicitly_ downloading any software" because if you try to use Firefly, you will see that its Javascript does in fact download and execute software in your browser that then securely communicates to its servers to share screens between two people.
Also, please remind Firefly that it's a good idea to have somebody with an eye for spelling and grammar (and there are bunches of these smart people everywhere at Penn) to give the site a once-over if it's going to get "the next Zuckerberg" treatment from BI. I spotted two typos/thinkos in just ten seconds of reading their copy.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50be5a9aecad043565000001johnathanbTue, 04 Dec 2012 15:18:34 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50be5a9aecad043565000001
I have learned that just about 100% of the time someone says (insert name here) is the next (insert current celebrity/pro athlete/successful business/etc) that it does not pan out.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50be4ac36bb3f7052d00000eWallstreet, We come in Peace...honestTue, 04 Dec 2012 14:10:59 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50be4ac36bb3f7052d00000e
GMO IPO's are all the rage nowadayshttp://www.businessinsider.com/c/50be478eeab8ea5b32000010VC firm First Round Capital Tue, 04 Dec 2012 13:57:18 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50be478eeab8ea5b32000010
VC firm First Round Capital "gathered eleven student investors at Drexel and UPenn"...
Xfactor, American Idol always finds mind blowing talents, but they tour the country and make the top selection from hundreds of thousands people.
Sounds like Round Capital wants to create the next whoever - not to find it.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50be46b269beddd337000006OtisTue, 04 Dec 2012 13:53:38 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50be46b269beddd337000006
Join.me has already been doing something similar to this with great success. Who ever decided to give this nerd VC is a moron.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50be45c5eab8ea642a00000dDuhTue, 04 Dec 2012 13:49:41 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50be45c5eab8ea642a00000d
So he's a lying cheating thief who has no moral scruples?
We'll then they have indeed found the next Mark Zuckerberg.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50be4556ecad04e43800000aHere we go again...Tue, 04 Dec 2012 13:47:50 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50be4556ecad04e43800000a
Give it a few months and the banksters will be valuating it as a 100 billion dollar company.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50be44c0ecad04e338000006LolTue, 04 Dec 2012 13:45:20 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50be44c0ecad04e338000006
He looks like an offspring of mark zuckerberg and bill gates, maybe business insider are on to something.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50be39fc6bb3f7010c000016Ted Dibiase Tue, 04 Dec 2012 12:59:24 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50be39fc6bb3f7010c000016
The next mark zuckerberg??lol.. Only in American can a person get VC and be considered a success.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50be39ececad04b922000009Sorry but...Tue, 04 Dec 2012 12:59:08 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50be39ececad04b922000009
Sorry to give you the news, but the tech bubble is over. Twitter can do everything anyone needs to do. Crowdsource, broadcast, search, link, market, fan following, mailing lists, you name it. It's over. People like it. It's small, requires little concentration, allows you to digest 100s or 1000s of conversations without straining your brain. Sure, some things can make it nicer to read, like Flipboard, but Twitter does everything you need. Facebook is toast. Myspace might come back because at least it has original content like music, comedy, movies, video etc. Youtube too. For everything social however, twitter is going to be like the little guy pulling all the levers of the internet. What can't twitter do? Even dictators are using it.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50be378aecad04ad22000005DavidSTue, 04 Dec 2012 12:48:58 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50be378aecad04ad22000005
"First Round's reasoning was that a lot of successful entrepreneurs started businesses in their dorm rooms."
If true, this is incredibly stupid and does not constitute "reasoning," at least the kind the involves the use of a human brain.
By this logic, they should also target entrepreneurs who work in offices, since a lot of successful entrepreneurs started businesses in offices.
Also, since David Packard and Bill Hewlett started HP in their garage, First Round should therefore target homeowners who like woodworking in their garages. After all, a lot of successful entrepreneurs started businesses in garages.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50be36266bb3f7e604000001Smart PersonTue, 04 Dec 2012 12:43:02 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50be36266bb3f7e604000001
lol what a clueless article, clearly written by someone far too weak to ever even be considered for a top school or a top company.
